About the Wellington Arch

A monumental arch on the edge of Hyde Park that also conceals a museum and viewing gallery.

There's a permanent display of the arch's history, how it was moved to its current location, the controversy about the statue on the top, and its use as a small police station.

There is also a running temporary exhibition in the upper galleries, where you can also go outside to the viewing gallery for wonderful views towards Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace.
